Cash Advance Report

This guide will cover:

 

Information

This report displays all cash advances requested by employees and the status of the advance in regards to reconciling. A cash advance must be reconciled by creating and submitting an expense report after the advance status is approved. Once the expense report has been processed through all approvals, the expense report is applied against the cash advance.

This report will help departments view outstanding cash advances that are overdue or have funds outstanding that need to be reconciled.

For steps on requesting or reconciling a cash advance, please follow the Quick Reference Guide for Requesting, Reconciling, Withdrawing and Returning Unused Funds from a Cash Advance.
